Description of measure

LabHub is a platform for digital transformation in the medical and biological engineering sectors. The services provided by LabHub are non-profit. The platform was established by the Bosnia and Herzegovina Medical and Biological Engineering Society (DMBIUBIH) with the aim of supporting the development and digitalization of health sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The LabHub platform program aims to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), laboratories and start-ups in their digital transformation in the biomedical engineering sector. Laboratories (testing, inspection, certification) are in focus because they represent an information hub where the population submits information to the system, laboratories create databases and report to competent authorities, competent and scientific organizations monitor the movement of database parameters and health and other institutions actively use this data. However, in a large number of cases, this kind of work is not automated or digitalized. An additional problem in this area is a lack of support for researchers and PhD students, as well as support for entrepreneurs to start new businesses in this demanding field. DMBIUBIH wants to transfer the acquired knowledge and experience through the LabHub platform because it has become a regional leader in the field of biomedical engineering. Together with the publisher Springer, it has organized the International Conference on Medical and Biological Engineering (CMBEBIH).
